Rosa damascena, or Damask Rose, is a natural ingredient used in the formulation of TerraGlow's organic skincare products with oil.
A Rose with a Rich History
The Damask Rose traces its origins to the Middle East, specifically from the city of Damascus, from which it gets its name. Today, it's cultivated in regions with ideal climates, such as Bulgaria, Turkey, and Morocco, where sunny, warm summers and mild winters allow it to flourish and develop its signature properties.
The extraction of its precious essence is a labor of love—it can take several thousand flowers to produce just one gram of rose essential oil, making it one of the most valuable and precious ingredients in the world.
More Than Just a Fragrance
For centuries, the Damask Rose has been revered as the "queen of flowers," a timeless symbol of beauty, love, and femininity across cultures. While its exquisite fragrance has rightfully captivated perfumers for generations, this flower holds a secret that transcends scent—it is a veritable powerhouse of skincare benefits.
At Terraglow, our passion lies in harnessing the purest, most effective botanicals. The Damask Rose, with its remarkably complex chemistry, is a perfect example of nature's genius. Its precious essence is extracted through steam distillation, an elaborate process that requires a staggering number of petals, making it one of the most valuable ingredients in the world. But its value extends far beyond its exquisite aroma.
The Skincare Power of Damask Rose: A Master of Hydration and Balance
Damask Rose oil is a wonderful moisturizer for all skin types. It acts as a natural humectant, helping skin retain moisture for a soft, supple feel. Remarkably, it also helps regulate excess sebum in oily skin, acting as a natural astringent to tighten pores, while simultaneously soothing sensitive skin. This makes it a uniquely balancing ingredient.
